Lyrics

EVANGELINE
words & music by Grayson Hugh

It's winter up on the mountain
ain't no money in the till
if it hadn't'a been for Evangeline
I'd be hangin' round there still
stuck down in the holler
in that chicken shack
with no love to comfort me
now I ain't ever goin' back

Oh, Evangeline, Evangeline
prettiest girl I ever seen
she fell on me just like a dream
don't you know I love her
talkin' bout my Evangeline
oh yes I do, oh yeah

Well I left there in a hurry
I left that one horse town
packed my things in the middle of the night as the snow was falling down
took the train to Charleston
to be with Evangeline
left the mountains for the ocean
where the grass is growing green

Oh, Evangeline, Evangeline
prettiest girl I ever seen
she fell on me just like a dream
don't you know I love her
talkin' bout my Evangeline
oh yes I do, oh yeah

Oh it's winter up on the mountain
no money in the till
if it hadnt'a been for that woman
I'd be hangin' round there still

Oh, Evangeline, Evangeline
prettiest girl I ever seen
she fell on me just like a dream
don't you know I love her
talkin' bout my Evangeline
oh yes I do, oh yeah
Evangeline
talkin' bout Evangeline
sweet Chicora queen
Evangeline
my Evangeline
